How immensely reasonable. It is crazy that this even has to be brought up.

Completely agree. Once they drop support remove always online requirements and provide what is necessary for people to run their own servers. That’s basically the way things used to work by default.
They need 600k more... I doubt they'll get that much in a month...
Ok, thanks for sharing how the system works. 600k more, then I really hope everyone shares! Can't give up without trying 😁
Don't get me wrong, even if we don't reach it it's still a message to legislatures that this is something we want. I have my hopes up :3
Fuck Piratesoftware for painting this initiative in a bad light
Signed! Thanks for sharing
This doesn't seem to mention online components. What's a "reasonably functional (playable) state" for a purely online game? It says publishers don't need to provide resources, but surely some form of resource (e.g. server code/compiled binary) is essential for such a game to be "playable," no?
I wish they would've clarified that. As it stands, I can see an argument for publishers just abandoning and disabling online components as "reasonable," yet so many games are defined by that online component.
Maybe they just wanted to keep it simple. Idk.
Here's my response in that thread, in case anyone is interested: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/18090621
Yeah. I wasn't really sure if this was the answer or not, just that I had seen a potential conversation asking similar questions or along the same lines, and others seemed to have had a take on this.
